I'm not totally sure where you're disagreeing with this video. I don't think he's trying to claim that CoD singlehandedly invented the war shooter, just that its gargantuan popularity and the way it handles its themes and its feedback loops are at odds with the subject matter.

Fair point but shooters have always used subject matter as window dressing.
